Once upon a time, I couldn’t be bothered to alternate rows with two balls of hand dyed yarn until I learned the hard way with one of my projects:

The colour on one arm was completely different from the other arm 🤣🤣🤣. Let’s just say I put it down to artistic input or something snazzy like that...heheheee!

Buuuut I can now never ever not alternate rows (I tend to do every two rows) with two balls of hand dyed yarn.

Have you had a similar experience with not alternating rows when knitting with hand dyed yarn? Share your story in the comments 👇🏽😊.

If a hoodie doesn’t have pockets, can it even be called a hoodie?? Asking for a friend 👀😊.

This project has been a story of life, lemons and lemonade...lol! A few weeks ago I posted in my stories about the purple yarn I was using for this project. I didn’t have any left and the yarn has been discontinued. Searched everywhere I could for it and the few places that had any left were charging cray cray shipping costs.

Long story short, I decided to change tact and use a contrast colour, and you know what? I actually prefer it this way! It wasn’t the initial plan but I’m glad this is where we’re at now 🙌🏽🙌🏽.

@knotbadbritt issued a challenge for #bipocmakers

@knotbadbritt issued a challenge for #bipocmakers to post a crafty photo with their hands, as even till now, it is rare to see melanated hands on social media.

I was taught to knit and crochet as a kid in Nigeria by one of my Ghanaian primary school teachers. So when I joined the crafting community, I naively thought I would see lots of people who looked like me knitting and crocheting on social media but let me tell you, the reality hit me like a tonne of bricks! If I remember correctly, one of the first melanated hands I found on IG (cos I went searching) was @tlyarncrafts and I followed her without even looking to see what she was about!
•
Representation really does matter and when I think about this, I think about the generations coming behind us. Things CANNOT and MUST not be the same for them as it has been so far. There’s gotta be change and I will continue to do everything within my power to be a part of that.
•
Massive thank you to Britt for this challenge. If you haven’t done so yet, be sure to check out @themakersofcolorcollective curated by Britt to discover more #bipocmakers.

Have a great weekend, my friends!

Shout out to Michelle @lovembymichelle who is making her third #renaissancecowl!! Hey 👋🏽 Michelle!!

The Renaissance Crochet Cowl is a fun cowl to make and I’m always so chuffed to see so many of you making it more than once and commenting on how much you love crocheting it.

When I create my patterns, I am always very particular about how I want you to feel when you knit or crochet them.

🌟 The entire experience has to spark joy (using the words of @mariekondo 😊) 🌟.

I hope you have a fab weekend, my friends. Happy crafting!

If there’s ever a pic that epitomises me, it’s this one. I laugh a LOT and I’m very playful 😂😂😉😉.

We had a glorious sunny 😎 weather today and I finally did the photoshoot 📸 for the Hopeful Skirt 🙌🏽🙌🏽. The pattern has gone out to my testers and I can’t wait to see their finished skirts 💃🏽💃🏽.

Happy Easter to everyone who celebrates ✝️. It’s a special time and a time of deep reflection for me as a Christian. I will always be in awe and will always be grateful for what Jesus Christ did on the Cross ☦️ of Calvary that many thousand years ago.

Enjoy your weekend, my friends! Cheers 🥂.

Pattern: Hopeful Skirt (coming 🔜).
Yarn: King Cole Chunky Tweed.
